Every lens made has a peak sharpness point, but there is no appreciable softness with my 35-100mm at full zoom, wide open. Is it sharper at f/4? Yes it is, but not to the extent that it would be noticeable at any size at a normal viewing distance.

Just one example, and I have many more:

I don't disagree that the softness is manageable, but it is noticeable and markedly worse than at all other focal lengths and apertures.

And by the way (please don't be offended by this) what on earth is the point in trying to demonstrate sharpness by uploading a 1 megapixel 180k jpeg?

I could have taken that with an iPhone 2.
